Since I entered the school of Architecture, I found myself falling for its magic every single day. After graduation, I became more obsessed, so I trained myself in every small detail I create until I can practice it on a bigger scale, and become a real architect .. one day!
Back to my inspiration, I love the art of arches, and vernacular Architecture, especially the one created by Hassan Fathy ♥️

This photo is for "Al-Fustat Cultural Art Centre", it's 3 metro stations away from the Lab.
Hassan Fathy is the 1st architect in the world who started building with mud, his style is known for its arches, domes, and barrel vaults. He wanted to create buildings that don't depend on air conditioners or artificial lights, and he killed it, also that's why he's known as "Architect of the poor".

I liked these two pieces, and I got the idea that I could use them as a reference for the elevations of the pencil holder.
Bracket's Ideation

I loved those spiral stairs, so I thought I could use it as a bracket, as it'll add an aesthetic form.

#Rule1
#Rule1
In this case, after using rule #0, you should not forget to use rule#1, by making a component for each sketch/side.
Preparation of the 2D part
Preparation of the 2D part
I started with the biggest elevation; so I could assume the rest dimensions.
1) I drew every front elevation separately, I only took the width, and the height of the 1st elevation as a reference, as it should be shorter.
2) After drawing the 3rd elevation, I was thinking of the joints, and I decided that the front elevations, it should be done with cross slots.
3) I figured out that I couldn't create any joint, til finishing the side elevations, so I started designing every elevation separately.
4) By finishing the 3rd side elevation, I started creating the cross slots, and the T-slots too.
5) Finally, I projected all the points I needed and then drew the bottom.

As I had a lot of components, I used the "Display component colors" feature, which decreased the distractions, after I finished I used the "appearance" feature for imagination.

I drew the top view for the spiral stairs and started to extrude it, after that, I started creating the place where the screw and nut will rest in.

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
The first thing in implementation is to save each face as Dxf, and ensure that all the points are projected.
The 2D Cutting
The 2D Cutting
#1 Putting the elevations in a way that consumes the least space
#2 Cutting the 1st four parts together
#3 Putting the rest of the elevations on another sheet
#4 Cutting the rest
#1 Made sure that the scale is correct
#2 Adjusting the settings of the printing, also I was happy; as it didn't need support.
#3 It took 5 grams and 21 minutes

1st Challenge
1st Challenge
This time the drawing process was easier, but the joints' creation was challenging; because in every sketch I made, I had to check if it would be joined smoothly or not.
Also, I was afraid of the cutting process, as I didn't get what is the kerf.
Jointing -_-
2nd Challenge
2nd Challenge
Arranging the elevations in a way that saves space.
3rd Challenge
3rd Challenge
After cutting, I found that the part of the T-slots should have been wider, the part of the nut exactly, I don't know if it's because of the kerf or another problem.
4th Challenge
4th Challenge
I had a problem with the bracket printing, that the hole of the screw was narrow, and also the house of the nut, so I had to widen them, so I can use it.

I heated that tool with flames, so I could widen the hole of the bracket, and it worked!

First of all, learning how to join, and the types of joints gave me the confidence that I can create anything.
Planning for the idea before creating on Fusion.
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

A lot 🤩
I find enjoyment in documenting, I didn't see that coming.
Also, Being more familiar with Fusion 360.
I learned how to be a better navigator, maybe I take a longer time, but I give everything I have.
Yasmin, my teammate gave me a new hook, that we can extend the sides, so the screws rest peacefully.
I knew something new about myself, the first animal that came on my mind, and we have similar traits is the lion! I finally admitted the I am a control freak, and he's the king you know!
Brilliant Yasmin 🥰

Week 4 Pinball Game Kit
Week 4 Pinball Game Kit
I didn't have a clue about this game, so I wasn't able to think or plan how to create it from cardboard.
But my team got the thinking process, and believe me or not this is the first time I became the person who does not put a plan, and the Game Kit turned out pretty despite all the challenges.
After finishing it, I was very happy; because someone told me before that "I am not a team player", and just like that it turns out that he was totally wrong.
I wasn't the problem, the teammates could be teaming and sometimes they just don't.
